Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a single-dose container, which is manufactured only with biodegradable products.
  • the present invention also relates to the manufacturing method of said single-dose container.
  • single-dose containers are currently quite common, such that a predetermined quantity of a product, for example, oil, sauces, sugar, etc., is provided to users.
  • a product for example, oil, sauces, sugar, etc.
  • These single-dose containers are usually made of plastic and comprise opening means, such as a weakened area for tearing or separating the same from the rest of the container.
  • the single-dose containers made of plastic material that are currently known have the drawback that they are not biodegradable, which involves recycling costs after use.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a single-dose container that is manufactured only from biodegradable materials, and that is also easy to open to deliver a precise serving where required, and a manufacturing method of a single-dose container of this type.
  • the single-dose container and the manufacturing method resolve the drawbacks mentioned above and exhibit other advantages that will be described below.
  • the present invention relates to a single-dose container comprising a casing that houses a product and opening means, which is characterised in that said casing is made of gelatine, water and glycerine.
  • said gelatine is a food-grade gelatine, and the thickness of said casing is between 0.60 and 0.80 mm.
  • said opening means of the container comprise a protrusion defined on the casing, which can be broken, and can also comprise a weakened area, for example, a membrane, which breaks when pressure is applied to the casing.
  • said casing can also comprise colouring, opacifier and/or preservatives.
  • the amount of gelatine is comprised between 35% and 45% by weight
  • the amount of water is comprised between 30% and 35% by weight
  • the amount of glycerine is comprised between 25% and 35% by weight.
  • said casing comprises 38% by weight of gelatine, 32% by weight of water and 30% by weight of glycerine.
  • the present invention relates to a manufacturing method of the single-dose container, characterised in that it comprises the following steps:
  • the manufacturing method of the single-dose container according to the present invention comprises the steps of drying and curing the casing after injecting the product and sealing the two halves of the casing.
  • the mixing is preferably carried out by stirring the mixture at a temperature comprised between 65°C and 75°C, subsequently applying vacuum at a temperature between 75°C and 80°C, and subsequently cooling the mixture at a temperature comprised between 60°C and 70°C.
  • the film is preferably formed by expelling the mixture uniformly into a drum at a temperature between 18°C and 22°C, solidifying the mixture, and then moulding the film at a temperature comprised between 40°C and 50°C.
  • the two halves of the casing are vacuum sealed.
  • said drying process is carried out for a period of time of approximately 2 hours in continuous movement and using air, and said curing step is carried out for a period of time comprised between 20 and 24 hours.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the single-dose container according to the present invention.
  • the single-dose container according to the present invention comprises a casing 1 inside which a product 2 is housed, for example, a liquid product such as olive oil, vinegar, milk or honey, or a sauce for use as dressing for food.
  • a product 2 for example, a liquid product such as olive oil, vinegar, milk or honey, or a sauce for use as dressing for food.
  • the single-dose container comprises opening means, such as a protrusion 3 defined in the casing 1, such that the protrusion 3 can be broken for the product 2 to come out.
  • said protrusion 3 may comprise a weakened area, for example, a membrane (not shown in the figure), which breaks when pressing the casing.
  • said membrane may be placed at the end of the protrusion 3.
  • the casing 1 is formed only from biodegradable material, such as gelatine, water and glycerine, for example food-grade gelatine.
  • the thickness of said casing 1 is sufficient to securely contain said product 2 and allow it to be served once the container is opened, for example, between 0.60 mm and 0.80 mm.
  • the present invention relates to the manufacturing method of said single-dose container.
  • gelatine, water and glycerine are mixed first by being introduced into a tank and stirred at a temperature of, for example, 70°C. Once the material is melted and mixed, the temperature is increased to 78°C to perform a vacuum process and extract all the air. Once all the air has been extracted, the temperature is lowered to 65°C.
  • This mixture which is used to manufacture the casing 1, may comprise, for example:
  • the following ingredients can be added to this material to obtain special characteristics such as colour, brightness, opacity, etc.
  • special characteristics such as colour, brightness, opacity, etc.
  • food colouring, an opacifier, preservatives, etc. may be added.
  • the product 2 For the product 2 that will be placed inside the casing 1, first the product is provided to a hopper of the machine where the container is manufactured, and once the material of the casing 1 has been manufactured and we have the product in the machine, the process of packaging the product 2 begins.
  • the material of the casing 1 is introduced into a steel compartment at a temperature of 65°C.
  • the material can be supplied uniformly on a drum cooled to 20°C, which causes the material to solidify and creates a film of about 0.60 mm in thickness.
  • the film passes through moulds with the desired shape of the container.
  • the single-dose container (the casing 1 with the product inside) is placed in drying drums, which are moved by a conveyor belt where they will dehydrate for a period of time of about 2 hours.
  • drying drums are kept in continuous rotary motion with air supplied through fans.
  • the containers After two hours of dehydration, the containers are removed from the drums and passed on a tray to a curing room, where they remain for about 22 hours. After that time, they leave the curing room and the single-dose containers are ready for subsequent packaging, labelling and storage to be later sold.
